GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce RTX 2070

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1070 uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1506 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this particular model. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2070, which features GPU core speed of 1410 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 Stream Processors, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1070 262144 MB/sec
Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 should be just a bit (more or less 12%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 203040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 180720 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 22320 (12%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 96384 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 90240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6144 (7%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
